The original Pernot property boundary included Lot 3. The house was built in 1896 in the Queen Anne style of architecture with Stick Style influence. The two and one half story wood frame house projects its characteristic style with decorative stick work, ornate architectural features, and variety of texture and materials applied over an asymmetrical structural composition. The house and site (10,000 square feet) are being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places inclusive with a ca. 1925-6 one and one half story wood frame, one car "Bungalow" style garage. The garage is situated 20 feet northwest of the Pernot House on the site of the former carriage house. The Pernot house-site is located adjacent to the Corvallis business district but within a residential context of early twentieth century houses. Structure and Exterior The Pernot House is a two and one half story wood balloon frame building with a full attic and basement. The house is 51 feet long by 35 feet wide (two bays by three bays), situated on its original site with an east-west axis, fronting east. Structurally, the house is composed of two intersecting gables (four faces) interupted at the axis by a hip roof on the east (front) elevation. The roofing fabrication is currently cedar shakes. The house exterior is painted pale yellow with white trim in keeping with the original primary color. A portion of the rough sawn framing system can be deciphered from the attic. The roof frame consists of 2" by 4" rafters and 1" by 3" overlaying horizontal sheeting. Each rafter juncture at the ceiling is supported by 1" by 4" bracers, and set into 2" by 4" floor joists. Wall studs measure 2" by 4". The stone and concrete foundation rises 1'4" from the ground surface with a 9" vertical grooved board skirt over the top half, underneath the watertable. The architectural features of the Pernot House combine a Queen Anne vocabulary with Eastern Stick Style influence. Decorative stick work—horizontal, vertical, and diagonal boards placed over the horizontal siding—characterizes the house in conjunction with the asymmetrical structural composition. Stick work influence is most exuberantly exhibited on five small front facade porches, each ornamented with turned posts, balustrades, and spindles. Architectural detailing is also evident on the south elevation gable. Brackets visually support the pedimented gable. The exterior fabrication of the house consists of horizontal shiplap siding (7" to the weather). Two stringcourses enclosing vertical grooved boards divides the house into two stories. The most prominent overlying wood features include symmetrically placed sections of imbricated shingles and diagonal molding within horizontal and vertical intersecting boards. Each elevation window fenestration is incorporated into the patterning with each window proper surrounded by a 6" wide plain board trim. 8.

Pernot at the northwest corner of S.W. 5th Street and Jefferson Avenue in Con/all is occupies a strategic site--a generous, landscaped double lot with period plantings at the southern edge of the central business district of the Benton County seat. Residential areas unfold to the south and west. The house, with its variegated siding, surface ornament in both Stick Style and Eastlake traditions, and its irregular plan and massing, embodies the characteristics of the Queen Anne/East!ake Style. It is a well-known landmark associated with noted physician Henry S. Pernct and his wife, Ocie Avery, granddaughter of Joseph Avery, founder of the Marysville plat which eventually became Corvallis. Following the death of Dr. Pernot in 1924, the property was acquired by local contractor L. N. Traver, builder of the Hotel Benton of 1925. During his period of occupancy, Traver carried out certain sympathetic modifications in the rear, or service end of the house. The carriage house no longer stands, and the nominated area includes, instead, a garage dating from the 1920s. The only other apparent exterior modifications are the shakes recently added as roof cover and an outside brick parlor fireplace chimney on the north wall added in the 1930s to replace the original stove chimney. Notwithstanding these modifications, the house possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association with figures prominent in community affairs from the years before the turn of the century to the Post War era. The significance of the Pernot House lies in the associated cultural, historical and architectural features of the site. The architectural integrity of the house has been retained to an exceptional degree. Functional room usage is virtually unchanged. Characteristic exterior architectural features can stand alone in terms of craftsmanship and visual effect. On a whole, the site pattern of functional space usage, garage orientation, access, and landscaping have been retained throughout the evolutionary house- site growth. Four families have owned and occupied the Pernot House to date. Dr. H. S. Pernot, a prominent Corvallis physician, built the house in 1896 for his wife, Ocie Avery. The house was sold to L, N, Traver and his wife in 1924 after the death of Dr. Pernot. The Travers occupied the house until 1969 at which time it was sold to Paul and Marion Gathercoal, The Gathercoals sold the house in 1977 to Thelma E. Larson. Each owner of the Pernot House, since the Pernots, has been aware of the historical associations of the house. Successive owners have retained the architectural merit of the house and have kept it appropriately furnished. The Pernot House is recognized as a local historical landmark and is Included in the State of Oregon Intentory of Historic Properties for Benton County, Doctor Henry S, Pernot was a physician and surgeon in Corvallis during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was a son of A. D, Pernot of Montbeliard, France, whose father, Francois Pernot, was an expert machinist who emigrated to the United States and died in New York City, A, D. Pernot, too, was a machinist and served his apprenticeship in one of the best machine ships in France. "After coming to this country he made practical 9.

  • DOE Prepared by the Oregon Department of Transportation (Julie Osborn) in 2001
    Oregon Department of Transportation DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR THE NATIONAL REGISTER VAN BUREN BRIDGE PROJECT ODOT KEY 20688, SHPO Case No. 19-0502 WRITTEN BY: CHRIS BELL, LIZ CARTER, HAYLI REFF, AND CHRIS RUIZ Property Name: Corvallis Downtown Historic District Date of Construction: c. 1856-1960 Period of Significance: c. 1856-1960 Location: Corvallis downtown Roughly bounded by 1st Street and 6th Street on the east and west, Van Buren Avenue and Washington Avenue on the north and south, respectively Township 11 South Range 5 West Section 35 and Township 12 South, Range 5 West, Section 2 County: Benton Original Use/Function: Commerce/Trade, Social, Government, and Transportation Current Use/Function: Commerce/Trade, Social, Government, Recreation and Culture, Transportation This Determination of Eligibility for the Corvallis Downtown Historic District was built upon the DOE prepared by the Oregon Department of Transportation (Julie Osborn) in 2001. Unless otherwise noted, the bulk of the contextual background provided below was taken directly from that document. The current Determination of Eligibility deviates from the 2001 document in three significant ways. First, it expands the period of significance from 1950 to 1960 in order to embrace several buildings constructed in the 1950s that retain sufficient historical integrity to be considered contributing resources in the district. This expansion also allows for some 1950s-era changes to earlier buildings—including some storefront changes, which were common in the post-WWII years— to be recognized as potentially significant in their own right. Second, the southern boundary of the district has been adjusted to exclude new, twenty- first century construction, which in some cases involved the demolition of historic buildings that had been included in the 2001 District DOE.
